This study employed a descriptive and experimental design: interviews with 20 specialists in educational science were conducted to develop and gain consensus on the proposed model for a university students' e-portfolio; and, following verification of its validity and reliability, a 17-item questionnaire was distributed among an experimental group of 90 students (43 male, 47 female) at Al-Shoubak University College to assess their attitudes toward the proposed e-portfolio model. The interviews resulted in a proposed model of a university students' e-portfolio comprising 10 components: student biography, course plan, reports and research, homework, projects and experiments, activities, summaries and conclusions, scientific material, audio and video clips, and samples of student performance. In addition, the results of the questionnaire revealed that the students' attitudes toward the proposed model were generally positive. Consequently, it is recommended that faculty members introduce the university students' e-portfolio into teaching practice.

The teaching method preferred by males and females is the flipped learning method; the evaluation method favored by males is the true and false test, and the multiple-choice test is the preferred evaluation method for females. According to the results, the researchers recommended that the faculty members of university colleges use the teaching and evaluation methods preferred by students. Contribution/Originality: This study is one of very few studies which have investigated favorite methods of teaching and evaluation among students in university colleges, which constitutes a guide for faculty members in universities to focus on these methods, and makes the student the focus of the educational process, according to modern educational theories.

This study employed a descriptive and experimental design: interviews with 20 specialists in educational science were conducted to develop and gain consensus on the proposed model for a university students' e-portfolio; and, following verification of its validity and reliability, a 17-item questionnaire was distributed among an experimental group of 90 students (43 male, 47 female) at Al-Shoubak University College to assess their attitudes toward the proposed e-portfolio model. The interviews resulted in a proposed model of a university students' e-portfolio comprising 10 components: student biography, course plan, reports and research, homework, projects and experiments, activities, summaries and conclusions, scientific material, audio and video clips, and samples of student performance. In addition, the results of the questionnaire revealed that the students' attitudes toward the proposed model were generally positive. Consequently, it is recommended that faculty members introduce the university students' e-portfolio into teaching practice.

To answer the questions, the study was applied to an experimental sample in two schools of Shobak district consisting of (46) male and female students from the ninth grade for the academic year 2015/2016, who studied the pre-vocational education by using the practical presentation method, and a control group in two schools consisting of (46) students studied by using the lecturing method. The results of the study showed statistically significant differences between mean scores of members of the two groups (the experimental),male and female and (the control), male and female in the post-test application in favor of the of the experimental group that used practical pre...
